Honda Brasil operates as a major motor vehicle manufacturer in Brazil. Its Brazilian activity began in 1971 when Moto Honda da Amazonia started importing and producing motorcycles in Manaus and has since grown into the country's largest motorcycle producer, with more than 20 million units built. The business has broadened its portfolio to include stationary engines and a range of power products, such as generators, water pumps, brush cutters, lawn mowers and outboard motors sourced from other Honda units. It also began producing quads shortly after its initial motorcycle operations, underscoring a diversified manufacturing footprint across Manaus and beyond. 

Beyond motorcycles, Honda Brasil operates in the automobile segment through Honda Cars of Brazil Ltda., created in 1992, with domestic car production starting in Sumaré, São Paulo, in 1997. The company has pursued expansion, announcing a second automobile plant in Itirapina, also in São Paulo, scheduled to open in 2015. It has also developed an energy initiative, building a wind farm in Shangri-La, Rio Grande do Sul to power the Sumaré factory, under the management of Honda Energy. The Brazil group includes Honda Financial Services and related entities such as Bank Honda, reflecting an integrated approach to financing and customer support within the region.
